2x2+3x+2
2 x squared plus 3 x plus 2

2x2+5x+2
2 x squared plus 5 x plus 2

x2+6x+2
x squared plus 6 x plus 2

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(2(x+1)(x+2)\), we can first expand the expression inside the parentheses:

\[ (x+1)(x+2) = x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 \]

Now, we multiply this result by 2:

\[ 2(x^2 + 3x + 2) = 2x^2 + 6x + 4 \]

Thus, another way to write the expression \(2(x+1)(x+2)\) is:

\[ \boxed{2x^2 + 6x + 4} \]
